In the second part, information about technical features of its samples is provided and the reports of step on treadle in fabrics are created. In the third part, Seven designs, created according to the weaving draft, were weaved and their technical analysis and reports of step on treadle were documented in tables.While in the past, Palaces of the Ottoman Empire and Europe were furnished with fabrics weaved with its looms, today the fabrication of Beledi weaving is very little.
